Chapter 1 Entering the courtyard for the first time
Sijiucheng Railway Station.
The green train slowly entered the station.
Ye Guoqiang held an old-fashioned military green satchel across his body and led his sister out of the station.
"Brother, I'm cold!"
As soon as she left the station, her sister Ye Guomei shivered and leaned towards Ye Guoqiang.
Phew~
Ye Guoqiang let out a breath of white air, took off his scarf and hung it around Ye Guomei's neck.
When no one was paying attention, he took out a piece of milk candy from his pocket and stuffed it into his sister's mouth.
With toffee to eat, Ye Guomei temporarily forgot about the cold.
She raised her face, which was red from the cold, and said in a sweet voice: "Brother, you eat too!"
"Brother won't eat." Ye Guoqiang shook his head fondly, squatted down and hugged Ye Guomei, "Be patient for a while longer, and it won't be cold when we get to uncle's house."
Um!
Ye Guomei nodded obediently, put her hands around Ye Guoqiang's neck, and spoke coquettishly in a soft voice:
"Brother, give me a hug!"
"Okay, okay, brother, hug me!"
Ye Guoqiang smiled and nodded, picked up his sister with one hand, and touched his chest.
Here, he asked his aunt in the village to sew a pocket inside his clothes.
Inside were a letter of introduction from the commune, a dozen yuan donated by the villagers, and several pieces of identification.
Ye Guoqiang was very moved when he received the stack of money raised from villagers from the village chief.
The face value of this stack of money is not high.
The biggest donation was fifty cents from the village chief, and the rest were mostly one or two cents.
At that moment, Ye Guoqiang thought of Brother Dong in his previous life.
The same thing happened to Brother Dong after he was admitted to college. The villagers donated some and I donated some, totaling 500 yuan, plus 76 eggs.
The moment he took the money, Ye Guoqiang vowed to imitate Dong Ge and repay everyone when he became prosperous.
Of course, we can’t imitate Dong Ge who is blind in face and doesn’t know the beauty of his wife.
Ye Guoqiang looked around, feeling confused.
Although he is a native of Forty-Nine City, the current historical Forty-Nine City is not the modern metropolis he is familiar with.
He is actually not from this era.
Half a month ago, he was still a young man lying flat in the new century. He inexplicably traveled to the 1960s and became a sixteen-year-old boy.
"elder brother?!"
Seeing that Ye Guoqiang did not move, Ye Guomei shouted in confusion.
Ye Guoqiang smiled and walked toward the police station next to the station with Ye Guomei in his arms. After expressing his intention, he soon learned the specific route from the police.
After a series of twists and turns, the brother and sister finally arrived at the subdistrict office and found Director Wang under the guidance of the receptionist.
"Hello, director, my name is Ye Guoqiang, and this is my sister Ye Guomei. We are here to pick up the eldest uncle."
While talking, Ye Guoqiang took out two letters that he had prepared and handed them over.
One is a letter of introduction issued by the commune.
The other was a letter from the steel rolling mill two years ago.
"Ye Guoqiang?!"
Director Wang took the letter and took another look at Ye Guoqiang and his sister.
Both of them were thin, with dark skin, and their clothes were patched but washed very clean. You could tell at a glance that they came from the countryside.
However, Ye Guoqiang's appearance does look a bit familiar, and his name also seems familiar.
Ye Guoqiang held his head high and his chest high.
All the information was contained in the letter from the steel rolling mill, and he was in no hurry to explain.
Director Wang nodded kindly and opened the letter from the steel rolling mill.
"It turns out it's you!" After reading the letter, Director Wang suddenly realized, and his attitude was obviously more enthusiastic, "You are Ye Jianguo's nephew, right?"
Um!
Ye Guoqiang nodded, showing a hint of sadness appropriately.
Uncle Ye Jianguo died heroically two years ago.
Director Wang patted Ye Guoqiang's shoulder to express comfort.
She is also an insider on this matter.
Two years ago, an enemy agent broke into the steel rolling mill at night and planned to use explosives to blow up the equipment, but was discovered by Ye Jianguo who was on duty.
After a fight, Ye Jianguo successfully prevented the enemy's plan to blow up the equipment.
When the enemy agents were restrained by the guards who came after hearing the news, Ye Jianguo also died of his injuries.
To the steel rolling mill, Ye Jianguo is definitely a hero.
The equipment that the enemy agents planned to blow up was obtained from the West with great efforts. Although it was obsolete, it was the most advanced in China.
If it is really bombed, let alone losses and so on, the above accountability will be a big earthquake for the steel rolling mill, and I don’t know how many leaders will be implicated.
The hero died, and the steel rolling mill must not let the hero's descendants bleed and shed tears.
After discussion, the leaders originally planned to arrange for Ye Jianguo's descendants to come into the factory to take over, but found that he was not married, so there was no way to talk about taking over.
After investigation, we found out that Ye Jianguo had a younger brother named Ye Yuanchao in his hometown.
However, Ye Yuanchao also died of a recurrence of his old injury last month, leaving only a sick old father and two children at home.
The two children are Ye Guoqiang and Ye Guomei.
The factory originally planned to arrange for Ye Guoqiang to come into the factory to take over Ye Jianguo's shift, but Ye Guoqiang was only fourteen years old at the time and did not meet the age limit.
Moreover, if Ye Guoqiang leaves, there will only be an old man and a three-year-old girl left in the family.
The old man is in poor health and cannot bear to travel long distances, and he is unwilling to leave his hometown.
After discussion, the leaders of the steel rolling mill decided to reserve Ye Guoqiang's quota to join the factory until he reaches age.
Leaving behind a large pension and the promise that he could join the factory at any time when he was old enough, the factory leaders left.
Two years later, Ye Guoqiang was sixteen years old, reaching the minimum age requirement to join the factory. In addition, his grandfather died of a serious illness, leaving no relatives in his hometown except a five-year-old sister.
On the day the old man passed away, Ye Guoqiang also traveled through time and possessed the young man with the same name as him. Because he was too sad, the young man also left forever.
After becoming the real Ye Guoqiang, Ye Guoqiang thought a lot.
Finally, for the sake of his future, he decided to take his sister to Siliu City.
Ye Guoqiang's decision was supported by the production brigade.
Workers definitely have a better future than farmers who face the loess and their backs to the sky.
The village also knew that Ye Guoqiang's family's financial situation was not good.
Although the steel rolling mill gave a sum of money, the old man was ill, so the money was used to treat the old man's illness.
It can be said that without the money from the steel rolling mill, the old man should have left two years ago.
"Xiao Li! Xiao Li!"
After confirming Ye Guoqiang's identity, Director Wang called a staff member and motioned to take the brothers and sister to their accommodation.
Today is the weekend, so the steel rolling mill cannot go through the entry procedures, and she has another meeting to wait, so she won't be able to get away for a while.
Under the leadership of Xiao Li, Ye Guoqiang and his sister walked through several alleys and finally stopped at the entrance of a courtyard.
As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, a man with glasses, a slim figure, and a gentle look came up to them.
"Xiao Li, why are you free to come to our courtyard today?" The visitor glanced at the Ye Guoqiang brother and sister who were following Xiao Li and asked.
"Third uncle, these two are Ye Jianguo's nieces and nephews, and they will live in the courtyard from now on."
Xiao Li gave a brief introduction and then said to Ye Guoqiang:
"This is Yan Bugui, the third uncle in the courtyard."
Ye Guoqiang opened his eyes suddenly.
No wonder I always feel that this person looks very familiar. It turns out to be him.
The main reason why Ye Guoqiang did not recognize Yan Bugui immediately was because the man in front of him was much younger than the one in the play.
Thinking about it, the actors selected in the play are too old, so it is difficult to perfectly represent their youthful state.
It's normal to have differences.
"Interesting, it turns out to be a world full of birds. I hope you won't mess with me."
Ye Guoqiang lowered his head and muttered, then touched his chest.
What's inside his pocket is his biggest trump card.
call!
